About the ECTS Academy
The ECTS Academy has be founded as a daughter society of the ECTS. The concept follows the model of interdisciplinary Young Academies: young researchers self-organise their society to foster personal contact and networking among the most talented young scientists.
The ECTS Academy represents the most talented young researchers and clinicians in the musculoskeletal field in Europe and is aimed at strengthening the future of musculoskeletal research by attracting top scientists and assisting them in setting up their research network.
Scientific excellence and cooperative engagement for advancing musculoskeletal research are key requirements for being elected to the membership.
